Truck Accidents

Highly Experienced California Motor Vehicle Accident Attorneys Securing Fair Compensation on Behalf of Accident Victims

A collision with a large truck is not just another car accident. When a commercial vehicle weighing 20 to 30 times more than your car crashes into you, the outcome is often life-changing. Victims are left with serious injuries, long-term disability, or, in many cases, a fatal loss. In Los Angeles and throughout California, commercial truck traffic remains a constant presence on major highways and local roads. When these vehicles are poorly maintained or carelessly driven, the consequences are devastating.

At Need Justice Now, APC, our truck accident attorneys in Los Angeles represent individuals and families hurt in crashes involving 18-wheelers, box trucks, delivery vans, and other commercial vehicles. These cases often involve complex insurance issues, corporate defendants, and technical evidence. We know how to manage those challenges and fight for the compensation you are owed.

Why Truck Accidents Are So Dangerous

Tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks take longer to stop, have larger blind spots, and require a higher level of training to operate safely. When something goes wrong—whether due to driver error, fatigue, mechanical failure, or poor loading—the damage is often catastrophic. In California, truck crashes are a leading cause of fatal highway collisions.

These crashes are especially common on major roadways like the 5, the 10, and the 710. Congested lanes, pressure to meet delivery deadlines, and driver fatigue all contribute to unsafe decisions. When those choices lead to injury or loss, you deserve accountability.

Common Causes of Truck Crashes in Los Angeles

Our attorneys represent clients in truck accident cases involving:

• Speeding or unsafe lane changes
• Distracted or drowsy driving
• Driving under the influence
• Inexperienced or improperly trained drivers
• Faulty brakes or worn tires
• Improperly loaded or overloaded trailers
• Failure to maintain required inspection logs
• Driving in violation of federal hours-of-service limits

These cases often involve large trucking companies that will immediately begin defending the claim. We move quickly to secure evidence before it disappears, including black box data, driver logs, dispatch records, and maintenance histories.

Who May Be Liable in a Truck Accident Case?

Unlike many car accidents, truck crashes often involve more than just the driver. Under California law, multiple parties may share responsibility for what happened. Depending on the facts, we may pursue a claim against:

• The driver, if they were reckless, fatigued, or impaired
• The trucking company, for poor hiring, training, or maintenance
• A third-party contractor that loaded the cargo
• A maintenance company that failed to make necessary repairs
• A vehicle or parts manufacturer, if a defect contributed to the crash

At Need Justice Now, APC, we investigate every angle to identify all possible sources of compensation.

What Types of Injuries Are Common in Truck Accidents?

In a crash involving a commercial truck, the injuries are almost always serious. We represent clients dealing with:

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Amputations and crush injuries
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Severe orthopedic trauma
• Fatal injuries resulting in wrongful death

If your injury is permanent or affects your ability to work, we will bring in life care planners, vocational experts, and medical professionals to build a case that reflects the full impact on your future.

How Truck Accident Claims Are Different

Truck accident claims involve both state and federal laws, including regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These rules govern hours of service, vehicle inspections, and maintenance standards. Our team is familiar with these regulations and uses them to show where trucking companies cut corners or ignored safety.

These cases also often involve larger insurance policies and more aggressive defense teams. You need a legal team that is prepared for that from the beginning. We approach each case with the same level of care we would want for our own family.
